According to some, Lindogon Hills was once merely a plain mountain range and a typical rural area. And the monks there act as medics to the locals or residents. Until one of the oldest residents, "Manoy," said that he had seen Mama Mary in his dreams. "Manoy foretells that the "Birhen sa Simala" Church would be built in that region of the Lindogon hills soon. Birhen sa Simala was built in the same region of the hills as "Manoy" fortell only a few years later.
